GracieX3:Politicians pass budgets prepared by bureaucrats who are tenured government employees . Politicians horsetrade what's to be included to fund their pet projects in funds allocation. You have not provided any evidence that DOGE had not made significant savings, please do. Likely because democrat supporters will never report any success by a Republican. Someone should be fired for this post on DOGE website? Which I know you didn't check to verify.

Trump speech 1999 regarding Cuba. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhtdNeYuRyY Highlights Trump's Timeless Promise: Cuba Will Be Free – And He's Ready to Witness the Victory In a resurfaced 1999 speech to the Cuban-American National Foundation in Miami, Donald Trump laid out a clear, principled stance against doing business with Fidel Castro's regime – a position rooted in ethics and foresight that looks prophetic today. "I've had a lot of offers – and sadly it's all been very recently – to go into Cuba on deals, business deals, real estate and other deals, and I've rejected them on the basis that I will go when Cuba is free," Trump declared. He pulled no punches on the Castro government: "Putting money and investing money in Cuba right now doesn't go to the people of Cuba. It goes into the pockets of Fidel Castro. He's a murderer, he's a killer, he's a bad guy in every respect, and, frankly, the embargo against Cuba must stand if for no other reason than, if it does stand, he will come down." Then came the bold prediction and personal commitment that still resonates: "One day Cuba will be free. I believe that you will have victory… you will win and I’m going to be down here and watch you win. I’ll either be the greatest developer in the country or the greatest president…" If the Communist regine goes, so will Russia and Chinese influence drastically diminish in the western hemisphere. |

Meanwhile Tucker Carlson said he's being investigated by CIA who have intercepted hid texts with Iranians , they want to refer him criminally to DOJ. He must be paid serious $$$ by these people, else he was just a wolf in sheepskin while at Fox. |

23jerryking:Fertile imagination from Iran . Just like the 220 US servicemen dead, 5 F-35s shot down, a Destroyer destroyed.... Name it. |
If only the media would report on this. DOGE Delivers Again: $757 Million Slashed from Wasteful Federal Contracts In just the last four weeks, federal agencies—guided by the Department of Government Efficiency—have terminated or scaled back 95 bloated contracts worth $2 billion in total ceiling value, delivering $757 million in real taxpayer savings. Among the highlights of government excess now eliminated: - A $75,400 State Department deal for routine "media monitoring services." - A $45.6 million Office of Personnel Management contract for "talent acquisition support." - A staggering $98.5 million Department of Education project to track and study high school students throughout their entire careers. - Another $76.4 million Education Department contract focused on how students and families pay for college and their long-term workforce results. This latest round proves the swamp is still full of unnecessary spending on studies, consulting, and monitoring that deliver little to no value for hardworking Americans. DOGE continues cutting through the fat, putting money back where it belongs—in the pockets of taxpayers instead of endless bureaucratic boondoggles. This has the net result of democrat supporters living in complete ignorance . How will such people ever be helped ? They are the ones who need equity to arrive at the same outcomes as others who read both sides if the divide to make their own conclusions. basilico: |
Noone is above the law.
Robert Mueller final report was two fold. 1. Found no evidence of any Trump campaign colluding with Putin. 2. Mueller did not exonerate Trump from obstruction of justice. Obstruction of Justice suspicions were because Trump fired Comey who was investigating Trump. Truth is Comey and FBI created the Russia collusion story. If this is so with Obama that's a clear obstruction of justice. |
In 2013 long before AI could generate images , Iran presented their 5th generation jet fighter. https://www.flightglobal.com/iran-reveals-new-qaher-313-stealth-fighter/108652.article . Experts quickly determined it was a junk model purely for domestic consumption

Scorpio99:One thing I know about the west and esp America , is that they can scale up production to unimaginable levels on demand. Trump has said they have unlimited ammunition and bombs to continue pummelling Iran forever |
dermmy:Iran with a good chunk of the population having college degrees would have invested in research like rolling out competitors to OpenAI or Arthropic or Grok. Instead all what their Ayatollahs care about is destroying Israel and America. |
dermmy:Iran has no army worth mentioning at this time.. Very rich country selling 1.6 million barrels of oil per day. Then spend most of that money plotting to destroy a country it has no borders with . |
Alamkiir:The Iran drone is called Shahed. In Arabic a shahed is one dies fighting for his god. Summary. 1.Muslims invented the suicide unmaned drone. 2.They also invented the suicide vest. I guess I'll be banned for staying the obvious. |
dermmy:But it's a rag tag army. Depending on public pressure . If they were to fight the Saudi they would threaten their oil infrastructure not decimating the army. Their defence and offence strategy is about sending missiles to outrage the public. A deterrence to make war against them expensive. They have Hezbollah and Hamas hundreds of thousands of rockets to overwhelm Israel defences . That's no strategy if it comes to real war. A good chunk of their launchers have been taken out , they are being triangulated within 60 seconds. Don't forget to Iranians,their army is happy dying in battle ( for unproven rewards) unlike other western soldiers who desire to live. |
Alamkiir:To be honest Iranians have a serious bark and bite. |
Scorpio99:Like I've been saying. All these Trump machinations are all about cutting China down to size. They used to buy venezuelan oil at $15 discount. Gone. Giving them unfair advantages in their energy expenses. They buy Iranian oil a discount. If the regime goes, they'll have to buy at market rates. Finally if Russia signs a peace deal with Ukraine which will include reinstatement to the international money transfer and trade Russia will sell oil and gas to Europe at market rates. No more discounts to China. I posted that China is that bully who oppresses you when you are down. All the while doing nothing worth mentioning on keeping shipping lanes open . It's those 11 American carrier groups who protect shipping globally. Regarding insurance Trump proposed the USDF to consider insuring ships at reasonable rates. This made the British Lord's and their Lloyd's realize they can lose a huge market when hostilities cease , they sent their warship to the Middle East. |
Bayelsaowei.Your favourite channel in bed with terrorists. Wall Street Mav @WallStreetMav NEW: CNN support for Iran reaches new heights. CNN officials were caught partying with Iranian officials in London. This could help explain why CNN was the only outlet allowed by Tehran to broadcast from inside Iran. CNN gave a softball interview to an Iranian government official complicit in the deaths of over 35,000 Iranians. They also gave Iranian state media four uninterrupted minutes to broadcast their propaganda on CNN’s American airwaves. Earlier this week, CNN was busy romanticizing Islamic terrorism with a headline about the NYC IED bombers that sympathized with the attackers and implied that police arresting them were the real problem. The media are the enemy of the people.

Cultural enrichment. Canadian school bans eating food in the cafeteria while Muslims are present because they are fasting. Could cause them to break their fast. NEW - CANADIAN SCHOOL DESIGNATES CAFETERIA AND LUNCHROOM AS "NO FOOD ZONES" FOR RAMADAN Fairview school in Calgary Alberta has implemented bans all food from its cafeteria and lunchroom for Ramadan the children who are NOT fasting have to find a spot to hideaway and eat! Now this pandering to foreign cultures is what will kill the western democracies. benalvino3 ono

Democrats have been screaming about how Trump is persecuting his opponents. If they win elections democrats already planning to investigate companies and individuals working with the Trump election. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/03/13/report-democrats-plot-investigations-companies-colleges-that-worked-trump/ In all fairness it seems the establishment Republicans who rode on his popularity to win , want the democrats to win the House. Senate has been oblivious to passing the VoterID despite it being 71% supported by democrats and over 85% of Republican voters. Senate leader is planning to hold a no vote on Wednesday for thenoptics only. I Meanwhile House members are saying they won't pass any Senate originated bill unless the SAVE Act is passed. The establishment Republicans seem OK with no other bills being passed. If democrats take the house it will be another round of impeachments and investigations. Democrats in early all the cases vote as a block, Republicans self serving always narrowly pass a bill. |

raumdeuter:Central to budaatum core belief is Kamala Harris ideas on equity, equality and outcomes. Kamala Harris has explained that equality often fails to account for historical and structural inequalities, leading to persistent gaps in outcomes. In a widely shared 2020 video, she illustrated this with a metaphor: Imagine two people trying to see over a fence—one tall enough to see pwithout help, the other needing a box to stand on. Equality would give both the same-sized box (or none), but equity provides the shorter person with a taller box to ensure both can see equally well. She stated, "Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place." Communists got into power through popular rhetoric identical to Kamala reasoning. Only for them to appropriate state resources for themselves and become authoritarian . Everywhere. |
benalvino3:Reason why I said if I was incharge I would demand to know what's being taught in the mosques plus ban those Arabic incantations. They say those things all day all night but reporting on them will have liberals and muslims declare you islamophobic. |
benalvino3:The UK specifically Tony Blair deliberately imported Pakistani to spite the British. With the parliamentary system of govt labour is always sure to pick some seats. Today the liberals in UK have to force the whole country to accept multiculturalism. The argument is that without multiculturalism, UK economy would stagnate. Well China , South Korea and Japan beats the multiculturalism excuse. Now they have to live with the consequences of whom they imported. Beating wives, kadhi courts, honour killings, FGM,grooming gangs and a whole lot of enrichment goodies from them. |
bayelsaowei:Less people from Cubs will migrate for economic reasons and political persecution. We got there because of communism . |
So Bill Barr ordered Pittsburgh US Attorney Scott Brady to investigate reports of Biden Burisma Ukraine corruption. He goes ahead. Unknown to him the FBI opens "Round Table" investigation where it mops up any evidence of wrong doing and hides it from the US Attorney Pittsburgh. FBI goes after those making these claims calling it disinformation. https://thefederalist.com/2026/03/13/round-river-fbi-op-was-a-deep-state-conspiracy-to-thwart-investigation-into-biden-family-corruption/ Cris Wray turned FBI into a Gestapo to protect corrupt democrat. |
benalvino3:Donroe Doctrine at work. Once the communists in Cuba fall , the influence of Russia and china in the western hemisphere will be severely reduced. Brazil liberal president is also needs to go. |
raumdeuter:Liberals for you. In a historical first, nine people have been convicted by a federal jury on domestic terrorism charges connected to Antifa. The group was accused of being a part of the North Texas Antifa Cell, and was found guilty of rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to terrorists, obstruction, and attempted murder, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas announced Friday evening. The group was convicted of the attempted murder of an Alvarado, Texas, police officer and correctional officers at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center occurring on July 4, 2025. What were they thinking ? |

So says people hiding in holes. What leverage do they have? They are trying to rally those countries they have attacked to refocus on eliminating Israel. How is khargi island today,bereft of military installations? WriterrNg: |
GracieX3:Trump faces scrutiny and lies from the media with every action. No other president has ever come under such a barrage. I can give you countless times media has lied , ABC lied that he doesn't have a plan for the Straits of Hormuz yesterday based on an unverified email.. Appointments. The Senate has rejected many nominations of his , his choice has to be approved by the Senate. Joe Biden made choices like DHS secretary who opened the floodgates for importing illegal voters. When Trump wants to clear this , the protesters resorted to blocking ICE . Democrats refuse to release inmates to ICE forcing them to make home arrests while being followed by unhinged liberals blowing whistles and blocking the roads. As to whether he has punished America via taxation , ask benalvino3 and raumdeuter if they are suffering. Ask Ijebos if his tax burden went down . Democrats only serious criticism of Obama was wearing a tan suit. Joe Biden was just a figurehead that they covered up |
The anti Trump industry is global, organized and massive. He believes every lie pushed by influencers, politicians and liberals. Every. Poisoned his mind to instinctively hate anything Trump does. While completely siding with his critics be they murderers, con people,the worst lot you can think of. To top it up, while never seeing the evil of the left, he calls those who agree with Trump's position as cultist. People like Biden or Obama are infallible to him. benalvino3: |
Kingsnairaland:. It's the EU and Joe Biden who continued with provocations. Starting from 2014 ,they interfered grossly with the elections leading to Zelensky . They proposed Ukraine join NATO and EU. Reagan bankrupted the USSR through bogging them down in Afghanistan then spending a lot on Strategic Defence Initiative. Biden and the EU thought they'd replicate that by bogging down Russia in Ukraine. It has not aged well for them. |
